This is because asterisk is 'lazy'. It will not take the "first" matching extension, nor will it take the most specific matching extension, instead, it will take the least specific extension. This means, regardless of the number, if it matches 011* then it will always take that option. The only way to acheive what you want (AFAIK) is like this: [blah] include => foo include => bar [foo] exten => _01144800XXXXXXX,1,Dial(${MAG}/${EXTEN:3},45,tT) exten => _01144808XXXXXXX,1,Dial(${MAG/${EXTEN:3},45,tT) exten => _01144500XXXXXXX,1,Dial(${MAG}/${EXTEN:3},45,tT) [bar] exten => _011.,1,AGI(iax.agi) exten => _011.,2,Dial(${MAG}/${EXTEN:3},45,tT) exten => _011.,103,playback(no-service) This will force asterisk to look/match extensions in foo before it attempts to look/match extensions in bar. Hope this helps (and it is actually correct, try it and see) Regards, Adam _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
